My goal, personally, is to attempt to survive.

Whether or not I survive, I plan to create a high elevation bunker library as a sort of time capsule.

Maybe some Indiana Jones or some Graham Hancock in 4000 years finds it and is able to figure everything back out.

They say society grows great when old men plant trees underneath whose shade they shall never sit. Trees...high elevation bunker libraries...potayto...potahto.

i've got much the same idea, also partly mapped out in my mind how it is constructed so that it can survive a deluge by being mostly above the opening, and well sealed and dug into rock like the diving chamber of a submarine

and yeah, how to store the data... mapping out a whole scheme of recovering technology, stuff like "ok, here you make charcoal, then you get this red stone and build a furnace like this and ... next you have iron and copper, i feel like metallurgy is definitely a key technology to recover

3 pics to check out here on that kind of idea. There are some books out there that are “reboot Bibles” if you will.

Ideally every bunker has some stuff like this in there to go along with the other important books that need to be preserved. I have physical books for that exact reason, assuming the grid would be kaput and powering devices would be an issue. Power generated would almost certainly be better spent on building for any survivors who somehow still had power afterwards.
